Introducing the New Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Headphones!

Introducing the New Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Headphones! Sennheiser has just released two new sets of headphones, the Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Headphones and the Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Plus Headphones. There aren't many brands that compete with Sennheiser when it comes to quality headphones for both recording and mixing. The HD series took the industry by storm and while Sennheiser could just celebrate that win and continue pushing and selling the same headphones, they didn't. They continue to innovate and outdo themselves. These new headphone models are sure to be another staple in their impressive catalog.

Sennheiser HD 490 Pro HeadphonesThe Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Headphones are professional reference-grade studio headphones that offer the perfect mix of clarity, comfort, and reliability. With today's modern music, there's a lot going on sonically. There's a lot of complexities and when we're critically listening, we want to be able to hear accurately so we can make informed mixing decisions. The open-back design delivers an extremely wide and dimensional sound. These headphones are handcrafted and German-engineered with built to last components and a lightweight, super comfortable design. The open-back design also provides natural ventilation, making it so you can work hours in the studio comfortably. These headphones come with two sets of ear pads, each with a different fit so you can find the one most comfortable for you. They're both washable and replaceable. The HD 490 PRO mixing headphones also include the innovative dearVR MIX-SE plugin from Dear Reality, placing you in the “sweet spot” and turning your DAW into an ultimate virtual mixing environment. DearVR MIX-SE simulates the carefully designed acoustics of mixing studios, helping you ensure a balanced, consistent translation of your mix on different systems.

Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Plus HeadphonesThe Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Plus Headphones are the same exact headphones but are a premium package with extra goodies. If you purchase the Plus version, you get an additional 3-meter cable, an extra headband, and a premium case! Though Sennheiser headphones are built to last, normal wear and tear over time can still happen, and to have an extra headband is totally worth it if you ask us. The extra-long additional cable and case are nice too.
